Welcome to Coins-of-Panama.com. This is a
catalog or reference guide of Panama coins, tokens, medals
and other numismatic items from or associated with the Republic of Panama or
the Panama Canal Zone.

Panama has a fascinating history which includes a visit from
Christopher Columbus, Spanish Conquistadores, discovery of
the Pacific Ocean, attacks by the pirates and privateers including Sir Francis
Drake and Sir Henry Morgan (who burned down the City of Panama), attacks from
the British navy including Admiral Vernon, transit route
for the 49er's (gold rush) going to California, the first transcontinental railroad,
the failed attempt to build the Panama Canal by the French, revolutions,
independence, the successful building of the Panama Canal by the Americans,
military dictators, Panama Canal treaties, Operation Just Cause, etc.
Many of these events are reflected in coins, tokens and medals.

Numismatic items covered on this web site include finca and merchant tokens,
military tokens from the Canal Zone, Palo Seco Leper Colony, challenge coins,
Admiral Vernon medals, military chits, wooden nickels and more. For
more information you can read about the purpose

Some time ago I created products at Zazzle.com,
including some based on Panama coins, medals and tokens. Check them out! I get a small commission
whenever you buy something, so you are supporting this web site when you do so.
If there is something special I might be able to make for you, please let me know!
